Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Database Administrator 2008
It has been a long time since my last blog post. I spend my work time at different customers, deep-diving in SQL Server, and my spare time with our little boy Tom, who was born on 12 October 2008. A planned project got delayed, so I have a bit of time to catch up on learning and blogging.
To prove to myself I gained appropriate skills, including all the new features of SQL 2008, to call myself a SQL Server expert, I’ve recently done a few exams and gained the resulting certifications. So far I’ve done the 70-432, 70-433 and 70-450 exams, which make me:
MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Implementation and Maintenance
MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Database Development
MCITP: Database Administrator 2008
When time permits, I will try to do the remaining 3 exams, so I can add the remaining SQL Server certifications to my CV too:
